I used this recording as a kind of "tabla" for an extended live looping piece here - https://soundcloud.com/ivodne-galatea/how-pictures-mean/

Thanks for sharing, it's brilliant. I used to use reel-to-reel tape recorders for looping way back, and tape breaking and this fluttering sound was a feature of it. So I wanted to incorporate it back in, and there was your sound.
